Raijin Passes One Million Players as Legal Costs Strain the Studio

Raijin was the studio's active player-rewards platform, with A-Zhen responsible for integration and settlement. A-Zhen brought the Raijin report: registered players had passed one million, and the value of rewards distributed that month had reached a new high. The rising player count and reward distribution showed greater demand and a heavier operating load for the product than before.

Raijin was the studio's active player-rewards platform, with A-Zhen responsible for integration and settlement. As procedural filings kept arriving in the trademark case, the narrator awaited the product's monthly report while trying to estimate how long the studio could keep paying legal fees. Both demands drew on the same studio accounts.

A-Zhen brought the Raijin report: registered players had passed one million, and the value of rewards distributed that month had reached a new high. The narrator read it, then calculated how many more months the available funds might cover legal fees, without treating the estimate as a firm deadline. XAI closed at $0.006723, up 9.0% from the previous close; the price could not answer how those costs would grow.

The rising player count and reward distribution showed greater demand and a heavier operating load for the product than before. Legal spending, meanwhile, was squeezing the studio's capacity to sustain that work. The narrator laid the monthly report beside the upcoming bills and prepared to discuss which operating expenses had to be protected first. For the first time, the product's upward path and the studio's growing strain crossed in his view; the next legal bill was still to come.
